<p class="MsoNormal">Just a quick follow-up to the previous message regarding the 2<sup>nd</sup> Report:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">A clarification on the file format in which to write the report. There is no “preferred” format, both LaTeX and Word templates are available for students to use. However the LaTeX
template is suggested as this will simplify layout and referencing (Word can be problematic). The student is simply expected to submit a PDF that matches the formatting style of the example documents and as instructed. Overleaf.com is a simple way for students
to get up and running on LaTeX if they do not have prior experience<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Previous year’s guidance on the final report suggested that students submit “10 pages” of draft material for feedback from the Supervisor. With the new 2<sup>nd</sup> report format,
this guidance is obsolete. However, students will still be able to submit any draft material for your comment.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">The instructions to students on MyPlace are: “You should submit draft material to your supervisor for feedback by the 15th March 2021 (send this directly to them). They should respond
with comments on how to improve aspects such as structure, presentation, graphs, tables, readability, and general correctness. This should be "in the form of a discussion highlighting both good points and areas that need addressing rather than a re-writing
of material... Supervisors should not be involved in an iterative process of correction of, or input to, the report material." This should be in addition to general feedback throughout the project.”<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">Feedback should be timely so that they can be incorporated into the submitted version<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">The due date for the 2<sup>nd</sup> Report is currently the 5<sup>th</sup> April 2021, but as this is a Public Holiday, this is likely to be shifted (TBC)<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For 1<sup>st</sup> Report feedback by supervisors, please look at the finalised and uploaded marks sheets on idrive in the same folder as the report to inform your comments to students. Hopefully Chairs will have been able to complete collation
and moderation of each project’s three marks and place them on idrive or will have done so soon.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">To PH450 Supervisors,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just a reminder to “please feedback to your student a general indication of their performance (e.g. Solid 2:1 report, Borderline 1<sup>st</sup>, etc.) and suggestions as how to improve in the future (taking into account that the 2<sup>nd</sup>
Report will be more in the style of a long journal article).”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The 2<sup>nd</sup> Report template, instructions, and marking sheet have been uploaded to MyPlace. Preferred template is the LaTeX version based on Physical Review A format. A Word facsimile is available but is not an exact match. Guidance
is to try to format it as a PRA article.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are a few Presentations still outstanding. Once these come in, I shall upload them to idrive for marking.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for doing your best to get the marking of the PH450 1<sup>st</sup> Report completed. I appreciate the amount of effort and care people are putting into the process.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There was some ambiguity with the due date for the marking sheets return to Chairs (18<sup>th</sup> or 19<sup>th</sup>). If you can get these to the Chairs today or by early next week, that would be great.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Chairs, please upload the marks sheets (all 3) to the same folder on idrive with the student’s report, Audrey and I will enter these into the PH450 Marks spreadsheet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Presentations are due on Monday 22/2/2021. These are 10 min recorded Powerpoint slides that can be marked at your leisure (same exam committees as for the 1<sup>st</sup> Report), no live sessions. I shall issue guidance next week.<o:p></o:p></p>

<b>Subject:</b> PH450: 1st Report and Presentation<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To PH450 Supervisors,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The list of 1<sup>st</sup> Report Exam Committees (Supervisor, Independent, Chair) and Marking Allocation for each project is being compiled and I hope to release it within the next few days. There have been a large number of extensions
and we are still waiting on a few to come in.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the meantime, I have placed all of the reports received so far on idrive in the folder idrive/Science/Physics/PH450/2020-21/1st Report<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">along with the marking sheets, the marking guidelines, and the instructions to students for reference. You can access idrive via Strathcloud
<a href="https://www.strath.ac.uk/professionalservices/is/help/indepth/strathcloud/networkshares/">
https://www.strath.ac.uk/professionalservices/is/help/indepth/strathcloud/networkshares/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Further detailed instructions on the procedures will be issued with the Marking Allocation but Supervisors can begin to mark their own students’ projects and reassure them that they will get formative feedback on them soon.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At a minimum, please feedback to your student a general indication of their performance (e.g. Solid 2:1 report, Borderline 1<sup>st</sup>, etc.) and suggestions as how to improve in the future (taking into account that the 2<sup>nd</sup>
Report will be more in the style of a long journal article). Once the examination committees have completed their individual assessments, the marks may undergo moderation. I am seeking clarification on whether we will be changing previous years’ policy on
not releasing individual component marks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Presentation is due 22<sup>nd</sup> February 2020. Things to note:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6">Instructions to students include: “The contents of the talk should be primarily based on that of the First Report with any additional progress since. New results are not mandatory,
though in their absence you should be able to present the “critical analysis” elements of the First Report in its stead.”<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6">The aim is for students to be able to effectively and concisely explain their project goals, motivation, background, and methods to their fellow students, not necessarily present any
new results.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6">The Presentation is worth 10% of the final PH450 mark so students should keep this in perspective when considering the proportion of time devoted to it as part of the Semester 2 project
work (there are 70% of the marks remaining for the 2<sup>nd</sup> report, viva, and supervisor mark).<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6">Presentations are to be pre-recorded Powerpoint slides with voiceover. A camera window of the speaker is optional. Videos are to be uploaded to MyPlace<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6">Students should use the provided Powerpoint template (based on the official Science Faculty template). There is an example talk contents that students may want to use to structure
their presentation.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">FYI Detailed 2<sup>nd</sup> Report information will be released soon including a report template (similar to Physical Review A), instructions, and marking sheet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Daniel, PH450 Coordinator<o:p></o:p></p>
